SOLDERINGwTOOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 371,841, dated October 18,1887.

Application filed June 1S, 1887.

To @ZZ whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, J. JOSEPH HENRY, of Baltimorecity, in the State of Maryland, have invented' certain new and useful Improvements in Soldering-llIachines for Capping Preservf ing-Gans, and I dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings. y

My invention consists in the construction and arrangement of certain parts of a soldering-tool for closing or capping preserving-cans.

rIhe several parts of this device are hereinafter more particularly set forth, and illusd trated by the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

Figure -l is a side elevation of the complete tool. Fig. 2 is an axial section of the handle. Figs. 3, 4, 5, and 6 are detail views.

In the drawings, Fig. l, A represents a centeringrod, pointed at its lower end and having a, wooden handle, J, on the top end.

B represents the wooden body of the tool.

C represents a metallic tube passing upward through the slotinthe slide E and continuing upward through the center of the wooden body, fitting loose enough to admit of an easy adjustmentoftheslideE. rIhistubeisthreaded at its upper end, as seen in Fig. 5, to connect it with the clamping-'nut I, as seen in Fig. 2. The tube O is threaded at its lower end, upon which is screwed and riveted the head D,which Serial No. 24H21. (No nirdcl.)

head should be large enough to embrace both sides of the slide E when drawn up against it by means of the clamping-nut I. The slide is held lirmly against the ferrule on the lower end of the Wooden body.

E represents the slotted slide. It is pierced at its solid end with a round hole to receive the shank F of the soldering-iron H.

G is a thumb-screw, which adj ustably holds the shank F of the iron I-I. K is a ferrule on the lower end of the handle B, against which the slide E is clamped.

I am aware that prior to my invention solderingtools have been made having sonic parts of them similar to mine. I therefore do not claim such a eoml ination, broadly; but I intend by this improvement to place the clamping-nut in such a position at the top of the wooden body as to be free from the oxidizing and destructive influence of the flame lfro n1 the heatingfurnace.

Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The tube O, fitting loosely in the center of the wooden body B, and threaded at its upper end, and having a head upon its lower end, in combination wit-h the elampingnuit I and slide E, substantially as set forth.

J. JOSEPH HENRY.
